The real color is basically a two shades of blue: one deeper, in the tips and one paler, a little greenish, in the body. This greenish part is highlighted by the filter.

I decided to give the Green Chromis another shot, but this time I’ll do it in a little different way.
I got 15 small fishes at once, and put them in my frag tank a month ago. In my tank I already had 6 fishes, 3 bigs and 3 mediums. The new ones are very small, some of them with a less than ½ inch of length. They’re arrived a little thin and 2 of them died in the first night. After that I started to feed them 6, 7 and sometimes, 8 times a day. After a week, I did this first video of them: After almost a month in the frag tank I decided to put them in the display tank, due to the arrival of a new fish. Until now the older ones are not harassing the new ones, but one of the group of 6 previous fishes, died 2 weeks ago. So, now I have 18 fishes. They spend most of their time in the upper part of the big island, where some of my bigger acros are, specifically my Blue Oregon tortuosa. The fishes are healthy, eating well and slowly growing. I hope that the growth of the acros plus the bigger group lead me to a success that I didn’t get until now. Now I’m thinking about to add a dozen more fishes, to get a really big group. My Discus experience show me that some fish really needs a bigger group to get well. I’ll keep posting about it. Bed time. Regards, Alex

Since the beginning I want that this tank shows some biodiversity.
Choose fishes that are reef safe and skips the common sense of: tangs+tangs+clowns=reef tank is a very hard task. Recently, after a friend got a Bluethroat triggerfish I decided to give it a shot. The Picasso trigger is one of my favorite fishes off all, but I need something that don't destroy my corals. Looking at some threads I discover the Pinktail triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) a potentially reef safe triggerfish which have a very interesting color, body shape, swimming pattern and personality........Everything that I wanted in a fish! So, I give it a try: Alex

Last week I did some minor changes in the layout,
I remove a lot of things that are laying in the sandbed. I glued some, removed some to the frag tank and sold some. Now things are back in the track again. It's hard to keep the tank from turn into to a coral shop display or a deposit. No big changes was made but I'm a lot happier now. Plus, the new fishes always brings the tank some fresh....air.... Hope you enjoy. Alex.

Acordding LiveAquaria, Max. Size - 1' 2" I expect, in a closed system, something like 8". Mine is 4~5" now....from head to toe (or tail......rsrsrsrsrs) It has that peculiar balistidae way to swim witch, for me, worths the show. I hope that he remains cool about corals and other fishes. I'll hate to have let him go. Alex

That blue millie is awesome!
How are the trigger and tang getting along? They both seem like dominant personality fish. Good luck with it!

I think that this millie is one of the most underrated sps along here... It's an easy coral, fast grower, cheap......maybe this is the cause but I love it... About the fishes, untill now, both of them just "ignore" each other. They swim side by side....They sleep in the same place, under the big island... I hope that both keeps it in this way. Thanks Eric!

It's hard to notice the growth of some corals, so I made a folder called "EVO shots" to keep photos of some corals took from time to time from the same point of view.

You've got a great eye for composition. Love the photos. And you're using a phone camera for this as I recall? How are you getting these macro shots with the phone camera?

In fact, I'm using a Canon EOS XSi. Sobe photos were took with de 18~55mm and others with a 50mm EFS lens. The "close-ups" were took with the 18-55mm. They're not macros....They're only croped that way. Due to cost, I don't have any macro lens. I'm planning to get a set of extension tubes, probably next month or so. For now I use some cheap close-up filters, atached to the lens.
